Got the van back yesterday. So far so good. It's running great. I'm glad that my mech was finally able to figure out that the pcm needed to be replaced. I can't wait to see my bill . Thanks to everyone for all the help on this issue. I consider it closed now. Thanks again.

Normally, he should charge you only for the PCM replacement.
It's not honest if he charges you 6 hours of labor for making a diagnosis. It's against the law anyway.

A Windstar without having the check engine light is not a real Windstar.

Sorry that I did not respond sooner.....I have been away for the past week.
If the problem comes back...(hopefully it is soved).....have them monitor the fuel pressure to see if your fuel pump (or power to it) is getting intermittent.
This can also cause what you have seen.

I agree that the spark plugs would not cause this problem.
The plugs that I have seen people post that gave them problems are the multi-pronged Bosch plugs.....which seem to not be so good in the windstar application.
Even those plugs would be super unlikely to cause the problem you had.
